| Now it's my daughter's favourite too! | |
| Firstly I would like to ask- how the heck is this film rated a 15?! My daughter watched it with me, she is 3- yes, 3- and she adores it now. She asks me to watch it several times a day!
I have loved this film since I was around 12 and watched it with my friend over and over 'till the original tape broke. It isn't deep, it doesn't have a message and the plot has more holes in it then finest Emmenthal. But it's one of the silliest, funniest films I have ever seen and I never tire of watching it (I'm 25 now...) The spontaneous dancing, the cheesy lines, the stereotypes- I love every minute of this cr*p. There's a traitorous mouse, a helicopter hijacking, a Swedish milkmaid, Ricki Lake giving birth to what appears to be a 3- month- old infant in the back of a speeding car, Traci Lords (ex- porn star) in a cartoon bear suit and even Iggy Pop in a tiny tin bath "buck nekkid". But don't worry, there's no rudeness, no swearing and no aggressive violence- it's all very much of the Tom and Jerry variety. If you like meaningful films that stir your soul and deliver a 'message', buy this and use it as a doorstop- but if you have a juvenile sense of humour (like mine) and don't take things too seriously, watch this every day! | |
| Finally, Cry Baby on DVD! | |
| I love this movie so much and I own it on VHS. CB is a real funny movie, it has good actors in it, and the music is great, too!
Finally the studios opened their eyes and realized that the public wants CRY BABY ON DVD! Now, not only there's going to be a DVD of CB, but it will also be the Director's Cut with 7 minutes extra, and I'm sure they won't be boring. The movie will be shown in 1.85:1 WIDESCREEN, which is awesome and we can now enjoy better this great film! | |

| I can only imagine that the popularity of John Waters is due to people under the delusion that they are suppose to like John Waters. As much as I love Sontag I do have to take exception with the focus on camp as a meaningful medium. Certainly there is humor in campy fare like the original Batman series, but when do we simply call tripe for what it is? Cry-Baby, is the greatest example of this, as it is by far the worst film in a list of films by perhaps the most overrated director I have ever come across. Cry-Baby is not goofy, it is not fun, it is not silly, it is not camp, it is simply a terrible terrible movie. The acting is abysmal, and I like Johnny Depp. The story is extremely terrible, and the overall production exemplifies my point: there is no such thing as so bad it is good. Laughing at a film (as opposed to laughing with a film) for it's low brow style cheesiness doesn't make the film funny. This movie seriouly belongs on a MST3K style lampoon, but instead people revel in it for what I can only assume is a sensation that they are suppose to like John Waters. I had a similar sensation when watching Pecker, the other supposed great Waters flick. If you happen upon this film because you have heard of Waters, and are curious, trust me, he is not an artist, and this film is a waste of time. Johnny Depp may be a good actor, but sweet mother of all that is holy, even Ed Wood made better films than this. Avoid John Waters like the plague, because frankly, if I had to choose between dying having the bubonic plague and watching this film again, I would gladly choose the plague. |
